Traditional Japanese lantern

Hang up this traditional Japanese lantern and treat yourself to a unique interior decoration

The Japanese lantern is a tradition that dates back 400 years. During the Edo period, these lights were hung in front of restaurants and sake bars in the city. Imported from China, this red lamp has an advantage: its foldable structure is ideal for storage.

Made from mulberry fibers, the paper lamp is held thanks to a metal structure (formerly bamboo) allowing easy hanging. It can also be used as a lampshade.
